<A NAME="TI1340"></A><p>The ORA database interface allows you to connect to Oracle
11<i>g</i> servers using Oracle 11<i>g</i> Database
Client or Oracle 11<i>g</i> Instant Client. It includes
partial support for the <b>XMLType</b> datatype that
it maps to the PowerBuilder String datatype. It also supports session
and connection pooling, load balancing, the Oracle Client Cache,
setting of an application driver name, and access through a proxy.
Oracle 11<i>g</i> clients can also connect to Oracle9<i>i</i> or
Oracle 10<i>g</i> servers.</p>
<A NAME="TI1341"></A><p>The O10<i></i> database interface allows you
to connect to Oracle 10<i>g</i> servers using Oracle
10<i>g</i> Database Client or Oracle 10<i>g</i> Instant
Client. It supports <b>BINARY_FLOAT</b> and <b>BINARY_DOUBLE</b> datatypes
and increased size limits for <b>CLOB</b> and <b>NCLOB</b> datatypes.
Oracle 10<i>g</i> clients can connect to Oracle9<i>i</i> or Oracle
10<i>g</i> servers; they cannot connect to Oracle8<i>i</i> or
earlier servers.</p>
